🧑‍🍳 Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Peel the pear and extract its juice using a grater or blender.

  2. 2

    Combine beef slices with pear juice and sake; marinate for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Julienne cabbage and onion; slice perilla leaves and shiitake mushrooms thinly. Cut carrot into 5cm-long flat strips. Bias-slice green and red chilies.

  4. 4

    Prepare sauce by mixing low-sodium soy sauce, oligosaccharide syrup, sesame oil, minced garlic, and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Add prepared sauce to marinated beef and marinate for another 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Heat a griddle or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook beef until caramelized (2-3 minutes per side). Cook vegetables separately until tender-crisp.

  7. 7

    Arrange beef and vegetables on a plate. Top with thinly sliced jujubes and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
